Ghost22:

What's up man?....it's been a while
You can see that since we saw each other I've changed my style
Remember how I use to be a really shy dude?
Well now I have a completely different attitude
Usually I would let people mess with me and I'd go along with it like we were just having fun
Until one day I just got tired of taking shit from everyone
I snapped and said to myself "I'm not gonna be a punk today and run"
But now that I think back I wish I had never picked up that gun

  SoulofNY:

What you have done my brother, you can tell me.
I been you dawg since I was 10 and you were 3.
I watched you grow from a boy to a man and escape the fate of blasphemy.
It's a difference between being a thug and a man; you don't need that gun to prove you can stand...on your own two feet.
I remember when you used to come to me with your problems and we would rap for hours until we resolve them.
Ain't shit changed i'm still your brother man, we'll figure away out this reality.
But go home, I'll take it from here just to keep your name in the clear.
Hey...but before you leave i'm gonna need you to relinquish that gun to me.

  Ghost22:

That's just the thing I'm trying to explain
Lately I've I've been tripping...swerving all out my lane
It goes deeper than what you know
So many sins burden my soul
If I put down the gun
Then the only way out is to run
The only reason I had a piece in the first place was because it was my protection
See since you've been away I've been gotten an infection
Peer pressure...is what i caught
And I know falling ill to it goes against everything I've been taught
I tried and tried to fight it, but one day I just wasn't thinking
And the next thing I knew I found myself gang banging
Now I'm stuck in between a rock and a hard place
Because if I try to get out now I'm sure that I will be traced

  SoulofNY:

My brother it's time I told you something you never knew, I used to gang bang too.
I used to walk around like I had an S on my chest, and anything between the earth and sky was mine too.
I picked up a gun because my pride wouldn't let me run, so I know what you're going through.
But mine wasn't peer pressure; it was something I had to do or at least I thought it was.
So I got a crew, that would back me up whenever I made moves, and all I had to do...was spread love to my crew.
Jordan's, Two-Way Pagers, food and shelter covered the expenses of what I ask them to do.
But I never asked them to do things I wouldn't do myself, so at times I had to show and prove that I was still that dude.
But one day something happened that changed my point of view, and I feel victim to my conscience.
I noticed a child watching everything I do, I didn't know it then... but damn I think it was you.
Is it my fault you're going through the things you're going through, did the skeletons in my closet transfer to you.
You got to get out of this lifestyle before it consumes you, you're at your breaking point but the fact that you have doubts means you think things through.
No one will trace you I'll cover the angles, so put down that gun and pack your bags, and head to a place where no one knows your face.

  Ghost22:

Wow...that really comes as a blow to me
But don't worry...your actions I never did see
Though it is noble of you to take the blame
Trying to make sure that lil bro does not do the same
On the day I decided that I needed to get out
Your Image and words were what made me want to change routes
You are my number one role model...so if disappearing is what you think I should do then I will
No questions asked...just say the word and I'll play the cards you deal
Man growing up you were not only my brother, but you were like the dad I never had
Trying to look out for me and cheer me up when I was sad
Unlike my real pops who had a consistent track record for being gone
Seems like all he was ever worried about was how many stray wool he could hop on
So I thank you for that
And to you my brother I forever tilt my hat
As far as currency don't worry I have saved some dough
All I need to know is where you wish for me to go
